A collection of lightweight decision templates, pre-mortems, decision records, and facilitation recipes to improve clarity, accountability, and learning from outcomes.
Welcome — Make decisions that stick, faster. Most teams spend too much time arguing about choices and too little time capturing why those choices were made.

Lightweight decision templates, facilitation recipes, an options matrix, and a decision-type classifier to help teams surface assumptions, compare options, document tradeoffs, and learn from outcomes.
A practical, lightweight Architecture Decision Record (ADR)-style template that captures context, options considered, chosen decision, owners, assumptions, indicators to monitor, related experiments, and follow-up learning. Includes a worked example and a short facilitation script to help teams adopt the routine quickly.
An interactive, saveable decision record template teams can use to capture decisions, owners, assumptions, evidence, trade-offs, review dates, and measurable outcomes. Records are designed to be searchable, reviewable, and outcome-tracked rather than treated as bureaucratic checkboxes.
A single-version, adaptable decision record teams can copy and use to capture context, options, rationale, assumptions, chosen approach, and follow-up learning so decisions remain transparent and learnable.
A one-page quick card that defines common decision roles (decider, advisor, contributor, facilitator/recorder), shows a simple escalation flow, and gives short, practical checklists each role can use to prepare, participate, and follow up so decisions are faster, clearer, and easier to learn from.
Practical short and extended decision‑record templates, example pre‑mortem and post‑mortem attachments, and a simple folder & naming convention to keep records discoverable and useful. Includes guidance on what to capture, when to review, how to protect sensitive context, and how to turn records into organizational learning.
Practical, ready-to-use meeting templates matched to common decision types (tactical, operational, strategic, irreversible). Each template includes a pre-read checklist, participant role pattern, evidence-packet structure, timeboxed agenda, decision criteria, decision-record template, follow-up owner template, and a brief escalation ladder with tailoring guidance.
An interactive decision-record template (RACI-style) to name deciders, advisors, contributors, approvers, rules, timelines, and handoffs — and to save rationale, evidence, outcomes, and lessons so teams decide faster and learn continuously.
A one-page interactive checklist teams can complete before or during a decision meeting to ensure the decision statement, evidence, assumptions, stakeholders, success criteria, and review actions are captured and saved for organizational learning.
